Grade: 6 Unit: 1 Week: 6 Content: Math Dates: 9/24-9/28/12
Theme Essential Question: How can students use what they know about multiplication and division to fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm?

Essential Questions:
  • Can students use the divisibility rules to determine if a number is a factor of another number?
  • Can students divide fluently using the standard algorithm?
Standards
The Number System 6.NSCompute fluently with multi-digit numbers and find common factors and multiples.
  • 6.NS.2: Fluently divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.

Objectives
  • The student will identify when it is appropriate to use the standard algorithm.
  • The student will use the standard algorithm to compute multi-digit division problems with procedural fluency.
  • Note: Procedural fluency is defined as skill in carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately, efficiently and appropriately (Adding It Up, National Research Council).
  • The student will divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm.
